Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.
My girlfriend's learning to sew with a machine. I just got her a Singer Vivo and she's used it for a few hours when it started to make a noise. After looking into it, it appears the issue is that the needle is hitting the metal case that the bobbin goes into rather than slipping into the hole. I've included a picture in case it makes any sense - and I'm sure my terminology is all messed up.

I've removed and reseated the needle to make sure it's all the way up. Not sure what else I should be doing - the booklet doesn't really mention this. Cursory Google shows a few different options including timing, etc - but is that really necessary already?

EDIT: In case it's not clear, this image shows the needle just as it hits the bottom.
